3-Propoxypropylamine

3-Propoxypropylamine (CAS 16728-59-9, EC 240-792-7) is a primary aliphatic amine with an ether linkage, also referenced under the names 4-Oxaheptane-1-amine and Propoxypropylamine. It carries no assigned E-code and is registered under REACH within the European regulatory framework.

In water treatment and oilfield applications, the compound acts as a corrosion inhibitor by adsorbing onto metal surfaces through its amine group, forming a protective barrier against acidic and oxidative attack. In coatings and adhesive formulations, it functions as a reactive curing agent and emulsifier, improving dispersion stability and adhesion to substrates.

The material is supplied as a clear liquid and is available in standard industrial grades compliant with REACH registration requirements. Typical packaging formats include drums and intermediate bulk containers. Procurement teams should confirm current SDS documentation and lot-specific purity certificates directly with the supplier prior to ordering.
